About
I am looking for applied research positions in industry with an ideal start date of April/May 2025. Please see my CV and reach out if you think I may be a good fit!
Hello! I am an applied cryptographer1 working on the design and analysis of cryptographic protocols, especially in the context of blockchains.
I recently defended my PhD dissertation entitled “Practical Cryptography for Blockchains: Secure Protocols with Minimal Trust”, which was advised by Jonathan Katz at the University of Maryland and Giulio Malavolta at the Max Planck Institute for Security & Privacy via the Maryland-Max Planck Program.
In summer 2023, I was a research intern at a16z crypto, and the summer before that I was at NTT Research. I was also a recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
How to pronounce my name: No-Amy Glay-zer

- 2024-08-14: The blog post I wrote at a16z crypto last summer is finally online! (You can also find it here on my site.) In it, I compare registration-based encryption (the version from our 2023 paper) to previous key distribution approaches for encrypted messaging. (If you don’t want to read a whole blog post, here’s the Twitter thread version.)
